  • Students feel more comfortable asking questions in small groups rather than large classes.
  • Peer tutors have often experienced the same difficulties and can help students through the learning process.
  • Students meet with the same peer tutor throughout the semester, which provides continuity and consistency to the assistance given.
  • Tutors help students develop and improve their study skills and learning strategies as well as their self-confidence with regard to course material.
